ME HAS WINGS.
W'e read of the wonderful achieve
ments of men of art, science and
invention, and we are amazed. We
cheer the Wrights as their aero
plane circles the Great White \\ a\
at. Washington and we join the hand
dapping throhg as litrriot crosses
the English channel in his mono
plane. But we must not forget our
own. There are the Woodruff Boys
who have revolutionized the saw
mill business by discovering a de-
yice to prevent the losing of time-
That is good. When the automo
bile made its appearance J. M.
Hood and Mae Potts soon had a
Beauty on the streets of W inder
made in their own shop. 1 hat
was tine. We recall the discovery
of anesthesia, the greatest panacea
for human pain, and pay homage
to the beloved Dr. (’l'awford Long,
Jackson’s noble son and painful
man’s best friend. That was great.
But listen! Should the fond dreams
of our friend and schoolmate he re
alized, then Columbus Thompson
will have them all hacked off the
hoards- His machine will Be
known as the Comnioncrane, Ihe
massive wings have been completed
and are resting serenely on the
front porch of Mr- Thompson s
country home, challenging the ad
miration of all passers by. When
the iron has been wrought by the
Woodruff hoys; when the Winder
Mobile 80. has fashioned the ma
chinery; when Winder’s cotton
factory has woven the cloth and her
overall factory stitched the rigging,
and all is complete each and everv
one who prides in native genius,
andloves home industry is invited
to assemble on Thompson Hill and
witness the Coinmoncrane, with
our old friend at the sterring wheel,
ascend like a bird, circle the Mul
berry and descend upon Hancock
Heights. Then we will say: That
is grand. Here’s to you, Colum
bus.
PENSION INfORMATION.
For the Wmefit of all parties in
terested in pensions, we publish be
low si letter from Commissioner
Lindsey to Judge .James A- W ills:
Pension OHiee, Atlanta, CJa., Aug.
12. HK)‘J. —Hon. J. A. Wills, Ordi
nary Jackson County- —Dear Judge:
l hasten to advise you sit the earli
est day possible after the adjourn
ment of the General Assembly of
the status of the legislation pre
sented affecting ihe pension laws.
The bill to regulate and tix the
fees of the Ordinaries for their pen
sion work passed. It allows a fee
of SI.OO annually for each pension
er on tin 1 rolls. Those on the in
digent rolls are to be paid by the
county out of the pauper fund;
those on the disabled and first class
widows* rolls arc to paid out of
their annual pension.
The hill that passed the 1 House of
lxopresentativ-s by a vote of 120
to put in fore* the new Constitu
tional amendment that provides a
pension for all Confederate soldiers,
and the widows of Confederate
soldiers married prior to the Ist of
January, 1870, not worth over
Fifteen hundred Dollars, was at a
late hour on Tuesday night tabled
iu the appropriation committee of
the fv mite, thereby refusing tore
port the hill hack to the Senate that
it might be read the second time
and g<> to the calendar for its pass
age on the last day of the session.
This action of the committee carries
the hill over as unfinished business
to the session of 1910. I am sure
the bill would have passed in the
Senate had it come to a vote. There
fore, no change has been made that
affects the present pension laws.
Voiican use the blank as heretofore,
and if you have none, order you a
supply at once, that all who desire
to apply for a pension under the
present law may make and file their
applications in this office B fore
Oetoßer Ist next. V<*urs respect
fully, ' J. W. Lindskv,
Commis.-ioner of Pensions.
HAD A PROFITABLE TRIP.
“We had a pleasant and profita
ble trip,” said J. T. Strange when
seen By a News man on his return
from the eastern markets.
“Look here: There are 1500
yards of iVrcals in this lot, and ev
ery pattern is new to Winder. If
we did not get the goods to please
our trade this trip, we had as well
cut New York out- 1 hose IVrcals are
only 10c and LJjc pel yard. Did
you ever see anything tietter and
prettier for the money?’
Strange has the goods anti we
predict a “Bumper’ sale for this
firm should cotton hang around a
dozen cents per pound.
“DAD. HIRE’S TO YOU.”
1 happened in a home the other
night, and over the parlor door
saw the legend worked in letters
of red: “What Is Home Without
a Mother!” Across the other room
was another: “Hod Bless Our
Home.”
Noav what’s the matter with:
“God Bless Our Dad!” He gets up
early, lights the tire, boils an egg,
wipes off the dew on the lawn with
his hoots while many a mother is
sleeping. He makes the weekly
hand out for the Butcher, the gro
cer, the milkman, the iceman, and
the baker, and his little pile is bad
ly worn before he has Been home an
hour.
If there is a noise in the house
during the night, Dad is kicked
in the Back and made to go down
the stairs and not only locate the
burglar, But kill him. Mother darns
the socks, but Dad bought the socks,
in the first place, and the needle
and yarn afterwards. Mother does
up the fruit: Dal bought it all,
and jars and sugar cost like the old
mischief.
Dad buys the chicken for Sunday
dinner, and serves himself and
draws the neck from the ruins af
ter everyone else has been served.
“What Is Home Without a Moth
er!" Yes; that’s all right; all honor
toiler memory! But. “What Is
Home Without a Father?” Ten
chances to one it’s a hoarding house.
Father is under the sod, and the
landlady is a widow. Dad, here’s
to you —you may have your faults
—you may have lots of them, hut
YOF ARK ALL RIGHT, and
we will miss you when you are
gone- —T. D M. in Augusta Chron
icle.
Speaker Holder is much pleased
with his present job, and unless the
dear home people get busy with
their pressure, he will not malm the
race for congress, barliceuc to the
contrary, notwithstanding.
Winder is on both the Atanta to
New Yolk and the Atlanta to Au
gusta automobile roadways, and it
is now up to her to get busy and
see that the counties of Gwinnett,
Walton and Jackson get the proper
support from her in putting the
roads leading out of the city in good
shape. There are some forty cars
owned by our citizens, and it seems
to us an auto club would do mueli
good in promoting the spirit in adja
cent territory.

gogue is your friend as long as he
can control you.
HOME MISSION SOCIETY.

very pleasantly entertained on Mon
day afternoon by Mrs* H. E. Ed
ward and Mrs. Starr at the pretty

Edwards. The program, both

the interest of Home Mission, both
local and connectional. The repor

and, altogether, much to encourage
i and inspire to greater efforts. At
| the close of the meeting Mrs. Mart ha
l Looney'extended an invitation to
I the society to meet on the church
lawn in September. A delightfully
refreshing sandwich and ice course
j was served, Mrs. Edwards and Mrs.
! Starr being assisted by Miss Lida
Mae MeKibben.
